Let us just start by saying we’ve got no interest in hearing why you like or dislike Bret Easton Ellis. For the record, we think he’s pretty great, but that’s not the discussion we’re having. We also don’t care about that thing he wrote on twitter about Salinger dying. Actually we thought it was funny, but again, not what we’re on about right now. What we are on about here is his taste in music. Read more »

Long before Quentin Tarantino became one of their frenetic followers, I had the chance see two members of The Baby Universal playing somewhere in Leipzig, supporting for I-don’t-know-whom in some kind of shitty industrialized building. I was falling asleep way before the main act actually hit the stage and only woke up when I heard their cover of PJ Harvey’s “To Bring You My Love.” It was close to perfection. I believed for a split second Jim Morrison had been resurrected. But he wasn’t. Read more »
So you’ve got an incredible song you made up stuck inside your head and unfortunately you have no idea how to get it out of there because you don’t even know which way to hold a guitar. You should ask this guy Andrew what to do. Andrew is one of those very few people who’s shamelessly talented, but still very, very nice. In fact, Andrew is so nice that he’s utilizing his talent to help poor idiots who have an idea, but without any know-how. For the last years he has been tirelessly writing songs on request on his home page.
We had a shit load of bands set to play at the Old Blue tonight but all of them now have swine flu. Thanks “global village”! So instead we are getting all our friends to DJ. Good deal for you guys, right? On top of that, we have about 300 free shots, and all pints and house spirit/mixer combos are £2.50. Playing lovely music will be Goodbye! Mother, King BB, William Trill, DJ Matalan, and a load of our other buddies. If you like drinking and are fairly unpicky about what you listen to then this is, like, totally perfect for you.
Are you in a criminally overlooked band struggling to get your important music heard? Of course you are. That’s why you’re sitting at a desk reading blogs rather than concentrating on your shitty job. Well, at VBS we are looking for music to use in our documentaries from new unsigned bands. Read more »
The Smiths. Man, I fucking hate them. They fucking suck and Morrissey is a total dickhead. I’ve never liked them. I was fairly sure I was alone on this one but it seems that I am not. Ben Rayner has had an epiphany and he too now hates the Smiths. A LOT. As does this guy. Here’s a BBM conversation we had yesterday. Read more »
My buddy Bill Philip, who I spent many happy years dossing at art school with, has a website called Fotos I’d Like to Fuck, it’s almost impossible to navigate but once you get the hang of it you’ll be rewarded with his somewhat bleak and impenetrable world view, brought to you via the mediums of photo, collage and video.

Call me racist if you want but I don’t like centaurs. They are drunken immortal rapists and they’re only in our country because they ruined Greece.

For those about to double-team the 45-year-old Mexican barback for coke, we salute you.
